I mean people are off following their bliss, being trained in puppetry and underwater basket weaving. STEM is hard, and Math is racist (or something) and I just want to have fun in college. But in the long run, you need engineers to build bridges and planes, and more. One problem with America's chip ambitions: No staff
Last week, TSMC postponed production at its Arizona chip fab until at least 2025 because it couldn't find enough skilled workers. This could be a precursor for things to come.
According to a report this month from US trade group the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) and UK-based advisers Oxford Economics, it's not just TSMC.
The pair estimate America's semiconductor industry faces a shortfall of 67,000 technicians, engineers, and computer scientists by 2030.
But then it is going to be hard to maintain a modern civilization without plumbers and electricians, too.
I'm just shocked to think that we actually need people in STEM to maintain a technical civilization, and we don't need people with degrees in all the various "studies" programs.
Are we still facing a nursing shortage? I imagine a doctor shortage is likely as well. What else? Give the efforts to eliminate math, I believe that is mostly due to the fact that teachers don't understand it, bridges will probably fall down with more regularity.
